Tumblr's reply to the situation with CEO's transphobia is pathetic and you should not be thanking them for doing the bare minimum of saying he's not speaking for them. They fucking thanked that bitch.

The affected trans women are still banned.

A transphobic manchild offered no proper apology. Or stopped. He is also still in his position.

Tumblr is still factually transphobic. Keep pushing.

In honour of Avery, Imma post my first public transition timeline.

In the face of unashamed and disgusting bigotry from cunts like ol' Hammerhead Matt, we still stay silly, and we persist.

Me before. Late teens.

Around a decade later and a lot heavier, happier and still alive:

My name is Ellie. Im a proud Trans Woman.

I am here. And I am alive.

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

#SHE WOULDN'T INDEED #SHE'D HAVE TO MANAGE TO GET OUT OF THE ICE TO BEGIN WITH... THEN I GIVE HER MAYBE A MILE AND A HALF DEPENDING ON EXACTLY HOW COLD AND WET

okay actually i'm curious about this because i know the el gee bee tee queues ays love their angels and demons and i have a theory why some people might prefer a specific option but i wanna test it first. anyways,

lmk why you picked a specific answer and identity in the tags and rb so i can consume more data like the little autistic freak i am or whatever. or dont, up to you. you know the drill.

feel free to include what kind of angel or demon if this is something you also think way too much about

#i'm a demon hands down it's the religious trauma meshed with personal views meshed with like a thousand things. i already fell from grace. #i'm a gender hoarding nonthing who's potentially aro??? figuring that part out still. and demi+pansexual.

I want to talk about being aroallo for a little bit. Before I start, I want to make it abundently clear that there's nothing wrong with sex that doesn't involve emotional intimacy. There's nothing wrong with one-night-stands. There's nothing wrong with sex with strangers you're never gonna see again.

However, I guess I'm just feeling kind of bummed about how romantic love seems to be the only kind of love people are capable of associating with sex. Like either you're having no strings attached casual sex or you're having romantic sex and there's no inbetween which just isn't true for me. I lost my virginity to my best friend and it was deeply emotionally intimate and wonderful and I felt very close to them but it wasn't romantic. I'm aromantic. I care immensely about them but as a friend. The way I care about them affected the sex we had. It was emotional, it was personal, it was intimate. None of that is negated by the fact it wasn't romantic. I just wish this was talked about more idk.

Anyway, sorry if this was a bit rambling, I've just been thinking. Aroallos, you're incredible and awesome. Everybody else, go give your local aroallo £5

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

sending love to those who struggle with the holidays. to those who have lost their family. to those who are from abusive homes. those who are struggling mentally. in a rough spot financially. those who are neurodivergent & easily overwhelmed. and to those who just plain don't enjoy them.

i hope you can smile genuinely, and feel some love. i hope they pass uneventfully, and your transition to the next year is smooth and full of warmth <3

switching to firefox is so funny to me because when chrome wanted an update i was beating it back with a stick but firefox is politely raising its hand and saying “hey there’s an update if you want” and i’m kissing that little fox on between its eyes and letting it update calmly and peacefully, go update baby i love you, take all the time you need

#literally #chrome shoving 3000 popups in my face while firefox just has a little blue thing up by the plugin icon

Me : Say no more! Click this link, then click ‘fill out this form’. Fill the form and wait for about 1-2 days, the staffs will remove the image you were reporting from the reposter’s account :^)

if you are an aro/ace exclusionist i am biting and gripping you by the neck and tossing you against a brick wall. ESPECIALLY IF UR ALSO QUEER. LIKE WTF THOSE GUYS ARE PART OF THE COMMUNITY THERE IS NO DEBATE.

anyways all my love to aspec and arospec people you are all completely valid and queer and part of the lgbtq community. anybody who says otherwise has maggots for brains and needs to receive medical attention quickly. not because of the maggots tho because of me when i get them.
